The Phrase Game

This is a family favorite!

Have on Hand: Pencil and scrap paper for each player.

Boredom Buster Description: This idea is best for larger groups of 4 or more kids. When everyone has a sheet of paper and a pencil instruct them as follows:
  1. Write down a favorite phrase or a quote and pass the paper to the person on your left.
  2. When you've received the paper from your neighbor, illustrate the new phrase or quote in about one minute.
  3. Then fold the original quote under, so that it can't be seen, and pass the illustration to the person on your left.
  4. When you've received the  illustration from your neighbor, write a new phrase or quote that best describes or humorously captions the illustration.
  5. Fold the illustration under so that it can't be seen and pass your new quote to the left.
  6. Draw a new illustration for the new quote and the game continues until all player have their original papers back.
  7. In the end, players take turns reading the thread of captions and showing the illustrations. Hilarity not optional!
